When Jack Eichel was drafted 2nd overall in 2015, but he and the Buffalo Sabres had very high hopes. In any other draft Eichel would have been the consensus 1st overall pick. Unfortunately for Eichel, 2015 was the year of McDavid. Fast forward 7-seasons and Eichel is no longer a member of the Buffalo Sabres and he's no longer regarded as a top 5 talent in the league.
This past November Eichel forced a trade out of Buffalo, and he ended up as a member of the Vegas Knights. Eichel had aspirations of finally playing in the playoffs, but after a collapse that would make the Maple Leafs blush, the Golden Knights missed the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
